Needle Felted Alberta Landscape

Needle felting is a process where wool fibers are locked together using a special felting needle. Felting needles have angled barbs along their length that grab and bind fibers together. Students will learn the basic theory of two-dimensional needle felting. This new knowledge will be used to explore the nature of wool and binding wool fibers together in new and creative ways.

Class Preparation

Please cover desks and tables with paper before the instructor arrives. Kraft paper is best for clay and messy workshops. A large central table is needed for some workshops such as Decorative Eggs, Inuit Inspired Printmaking and Linoleum Printing. Access to water is essential for clean up whether it’s a sink in the classroom, bathrooms, or a large bucket filled with water. Remember to wear nametags and dress for art!

Inspirational artist-led demonstrations provide technical instruction and guidance. An art-history perspective enriches programs where applicable. The highest priority is to stimulate each student’s imagination and creativity.
